Only one spot near a wall scrapped a little bit. The second test was to put pieces of duct tape sown in 4 places for 15-20 minutes and see if it lifts when removed. Not a spec came up. Naturally , they want pictures to document your testing. After 5 weeks, I called them to find out what the findings were. Since nothing came up, they evaluated it from the pictures. They said my concrete looked "soft". I had also stated in my statement to them that i had taped a 2'x2' piece of plastic to the floor to observe if the concrete had cured enough, based on other manufacturer's recommendations. U-Coat-It said it was pretty much a dumb test and proves it was my fault the coating has failed.
Ironic, only where the hot tires sit, it peels up.
U-Coat-It sent me a kit to touch up the areas that peeled.
Here's my recommendation: STAY AWAY FROM U-Coat-It!  |
I did my garage with U-Coat-It and the floor is holding up great. Sorry for your bad experience. Maybe the concrete is soft.
